Teaching with Technology: What Works
Podcasts
We LOVE podcasts!
Podcasts are audio recordings of each lecture; we have them for the majority of our lectures. They are an overwhelmingly favourite resource among medical students. They are a backup in case you need to miss any class, they help consolidate a lecture by repeating it, and they fill in gaps for when your note-taking cannot keep pace with the instructor. Most students still prefer to attend class in person, but it is reassuring to know when podcasts are available for just-in-case purposes.
